I'm sorry for the bickering it happens everywhere and we all know it. The fact that you demodded me for bickering to inactive moderator who came at me in an offensive manor and kept him as a moderator is just down right retarded. I'm sorry, but as you have seen through everyone else I'm the only one who keeps this section clean & a moderator whose first action in 3-5 months was to come in to me offensivly, close my thread, and then tell me to do my job is just down right improfessional.
That is the direct quote from him, and he complains to me but yet he will do nothing of the sort (I didn't even get to see the pages of spam going on that day). That is completely improfessional as with you keeping him hired because he's your friend.
This is all opinionated I understand if you disagree with what I said, but I did take pride in my work and Gunz development.
~Theoretical.
Telling me someone isn't doing any modding when I have all mod stats from 2003 infront of me is a silly move, Rotana has been modding, like you and like guy. After I saw the arguing and recieved a deal of complaints via pm I wanted to sort it out myself asap because if left you 3 would only argue more, setting a poor example at best to our younger members.
As a mod if you disagree with another mods action you
must go to a higher up and under no circumstances should it stay public. This is no secret and is often talked about in the staff section, it even has it's own sticky, which you either didn't read or plain ignored.
I'm sorry it came to this point, but what I do hope is that this is the lowest point. From here we go up
As you are pushing the discussion (common trait of someone with pride) I'll let you see how it looks from my point of view.
After the e-fights had stopped I'm left with a section that has 3 moderators involved, all mods in said section too which is rare. So I weigh things up, I check your activity levels, I weigh up what I know about each mod and decide who is best to keep (a) For the GunZ section and (b) For the Ragezone mod team.
So I'm faced with the following,
(stats dont include infractions)
Rotana
2012 logged actions since August '08
Been a mod the longest
Been a member the longest
Theoretical
224 logged actions since August '09
Is a great developer
but
Has been known to attack private servers
Has said he wont be sharing his developments
Guy
56 logged actions since September '09
Been a mod the shortest
Guy is straight out of mod for now, he has the least activity and I've known him for the shortest period of time. I didn't approve of a deal of his posts I saw but I'm sure in the future if I see character change I'd love to have him back. Of course if that's what he wants too.
As a mod theo I'm sure you'd be great but Ragezone has been built on the free sharing of files to everybody. Did you buy everything you needed from Maiet? Did you create the game? I think you should be a lot more humble. Private servers have always and will always be "underground" we must work together and share what we have. We most definately shouldn't be fighting each other, attacking anothers server in my mind is one of the worst things you can do.
Rotana is the longest standing mod and I've been able to build a level of trust with him. He is far more active than he gets credit for and that is what being a mod entails.
What choice would you pick?
Also if you think for a second my actions here or with any moderator on the team is based on "who I'm friends with" then you are mistaken. I have removed friends from sections before, even personal friends have been taken away from a section if I genuinley thought they were having a bad influence.
It's a case of what is best for the section and in turn what is going to help future development continue. I can see the pride you have in yourself and in your work and pride can be good! Do you have less self worth or less motivation to continue working on the game because your screen name isn't green? If so then your pride is the bad type
